Chicago Gets Googled
Illinois Senator and U.S. President-Elect Barack Obama has announced he will resign from his Senate Seat this Sunday. In a statement, Obama said, “It has been one of the highest honors and privileges of my life to have served the people of Illinois in the United States Senate." The responsibility for replacing him now falls on Gov. Rod Blagojevich who has said he is not interested in naming himself to the seat. While there's no deadline for making the appointment, aides to the Governor say that the replacement should be named within 60 days of Obama's resignation. We can hear Jesse Jackson, Jr. licking his lips from here.

I like how just like Bruce Lee slung six point Chinese stars at mofos,
Chicagoist slings racist stereo types by saying Jesse Cakes Jackson Jr is "licking his lips". I know yall all are envisioning Jesse Cakes eating rib tips just because he's from the southside! Well let me tell yall what he's really doing at the thought of being appointed US.Senator! He's twirling his hand carved rattan nunchucks with lighting speed passing them under his legs, over your shoulder, back, under your arms, just light Brue Lee and making howling sounds, like whoaaaaaaaaaah! just like Brue Lee as he pictures himself in the senate wearing his kung fu uniform!
p.s and instead of being called the senator from Illinois, he's gonna requested to be recognized as the Centaur from Illinois! What yall B*tches think about those apples!
oh for heaven's sake, spook. Really? "licking his lips" is a stereotype? please tell me you're joking, please please please.
I will tell you if I am or if I'm not if you promise never to change your avatar picture!
Deal?
Chicago The city that works on nepotism and cronyism!
well cheer up kgvs72, in the imortal words of
Candide, "it could always be worse" I mean if the
The Cen-a-taur gets it, isn't it better than Emile Jones? Or his son, State Sen.Emile Jones III? I mean they are in the mix too!
Putting JJII in the Senate makes this seat a likely Republican pickoff in 2010. There are lots and lots of people who will not vote for him simply because his name is Jesse Jackson, even though he has distanced himself from his divisive father.
If the Dems want to keep the seat black, pick a young charismatic African American with high political upside who will appear to moderates. You know, like that guy who was on the news a lot last week. Barack somebody...
I agree with Sears Tower---both paragraphs.
Also, in 2010 there will be a backlash against the tax hikes and entitlement spending by the Obamastration and the Democongress. 2010 will be 1994 all over again.
Picture, at the same time, Jesse Jackson, Jr., with all his family baggage, sitting there. It will be very easy for independents to vote Republican in that situation.
I guess I am rooting for Jr.!
Nothing says change like having your senate seat filled by the son of a shakedown artist appointed by one of the most corrupt administrations in the nation.
I hope its not JJ 2.0, I'd like to see him cry again like a little bitch.

He must have gotten tired of voting present
I bet both Ward Up and Sears Tower, if they saw Jessie Cakes in a dark alley, they'd say nothing but Tell the Great Rev. Jackson to "keep Hope alive" caurse he could beat yall worse than Bruce Lee did Bolo. If you don't belive me go to his website and look at those pictures. He could beat yall even if he was wearing those cool wooden clogs that he wears around town which means he's even more the bad ass. Of course maybe you two together might have a chance if it was during his pre lipo surgery days.
p.s and Marcus, don't worry I wont mention to Jessie Cakes either what you were really thinking when you said ""licking his lips", cause we all know you pictured big rubber lips smack'n large Rib tip savoring, hot and mild combo sauce from Langs BBQ on 69th Street dripping"
Considering he's done nothing since joining the senate (other than run for president), will we notice any difference?
Bolo Yeung? Chinese stars? Another Generation Y Bruce fan who only references Enter The Dragon. Jesse Jr. should be fantasizing about entering Congress and picking off Republicans with nothing but roundhouse kicks, eating frog legs at the grave of Strom Thurmond, or fighting someone like Alan Keyes inside the Colosseum.
Chinese stars. Aw, jeez.
Muckey Fingers excuse me? Do you know who your F*cking wit..You think I open a restuarant in the middle of the hood and don't know what is going on? I'll fucking represent! I will avenge my brothers by representing and whipping your a$s, word is bond! Okay then, I must show you flying fist of Judah! Okay....alright then....this is a chinese restuarant, but like Burger King have it your way!
p.s nice on the frog leggs at the grave of Strom Thurmond,
opps my bad on the curse word above.....actually its all from The Score any way.
